Laptop doesn't see opencore

Getting mac prohibitory symbol when trying to boot without USB
It's a red flag that GUID_partition_scheme is not displayed under Type on diskutil list for my Ventura install (but it's displayed in Disk Utility, I can see GUID Partition Map on Device Information => Scheme for Ventura partition). The EFI partition is also not displayed in my Ventura partition on diskutil list, which is weird, because I'm able to use Mount EFI on it.

Intel i3 8100 & UHD 630 | macOS Monterey
Once I added the "BlueToolFixup.kext" in the EFI folder (using MountEFI: https://github.com/corpnewt/MountEFI), it was time to update from macOS Catalina to Monterey. The update process was successful, and after disabling SIP (as instructed by chris1111 -author of Wireless-USB-BigSur-Adapter-.), everything worked fine.

You need to mount your EFI partition (find a tool online or use command line). In it you should find "EFI/OC/config.plist". Open the file with Propertree or another plist editor and make the changes.

Hackintosh GPU Coil Whine
The entry will not already be there in your config. You'll have to add it yourself. First you'll need to figure out the path to your GPU using gfxutil. When you run the command you'll see a list of all the PCI entries. On my comp it was the line with GFX0. You'll then take the whatever text is after the = sign, add that under DeviceProperties > Add. Then add a child to that with the PP,PP_WorkLoadPolicyMask set to 1 . It should look like this. Once added, restart and say bye to coil whine!

"Devices" section in OpenCore config.plist. Re: O2 Micro SD Card Reader
Add it to your DeviceProperties > Add > DeviceID in your config, and it should work. You can find it in any number of ways, including the Guide.
